01

🔀

Choose your mode

Know your vessel? Enter an MMSI or name first — safe for any file size. Just have a file? Drop it in and explore all vessels. Pro users can consolidate multiple days into one unified track.

02

📂

Drop in your AIS file

Drag and drop any AIS CSV — from NOAA, MarineTraffic, Spire, or your own data. The file stays on your computer. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

03

🗺️

Explore the track

The vessel's full path appears on an interactive map. Click any point for timestamp, speed, and heading — or use the timeline scrubber to move through the track position by position.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Filtered parsing

AISsift reads only your vessel from the file. A 500MB NOAA file with millions of records loads in seconds — because 99% of it is skipped immediately.

🔒

Completely private

All processing happens on your machine. Your files are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted. This matters for legal and insurance work.

📍

Interactive map

⏱️

Timeline scrubber

Click any vessel in the legend to activate a timeline. Drag the scrubber to move a position marker along the track — see exactly where the vessel was at any moment.
